seattle real estate: You can not separate Your "Professional" You from Your "Personal" You - 09/18/11 04:17 PM
There are several posts floating around ActiveRain recently, pondering whether or not your personal life is any of your clients' business.
Should we ONLY and EVER blog about "the professional services we provide", and how we conduct ourselves as "professionals", but never about the "Who We ARE" in our personal life and life choices?
The truth of the matter is...WHY should anyone TRUST someone who will NOT reveal the "Who They ARE", outside of the scope of their professional dealings?

vs THAT Real Estate Agent
is that they choose the one they … (70 comments)

seattle real estate: Quick Analysis of "Is Home Over-Priced"? - 04/25/10 11:45 PM

Every week I have been tracking the sales stats for King County and visiting the Broker's Opens in Bellevue, to get a handle on where this market is going.
Last night, and every Sundy night, I posted the King County stats.  Number of properties sold for the last three months ended January 31st compared to previous years is down about 30%.
